Yep sorry man. I develop on the stuff i use myself as i dont in principle target others. Its not my core business. But when its done and usefull i can (as now) start spreading the love for a small fee. Thats how the big one (APC40) started. And because hate the mouse as an input mechanisme.

Windows...Nahhhh. Me no liky Windoowz. Sorry man. My list if i ever would deviate from mac would be 1. (Hack)Mac2. Linux3. Windows

As summer is currently hitting the Netherlands and everyone is in a good mood as a result, i think its time for another discount on my controllers.So get them while they are hot , like Davinci Resolve 15 , which is sizzling !!!

Discount code for July , 20% off : summer2018posttools.tachyon-consulting.com

Just to mention an exciting new feature besides the dozens introduces since release (and not in the videos).

There is now a HUD (Head Up Display) that besides the LED based visual feedback system, further helps new users find their way around the controls in the different Resolve pages.Can be invoked from every page by pressing a key combination.

Hey Glenn!I just purchased used, an original AKAI APC40 MIDI Controller but the Beatstep Resolve Edition looks more fun due to its design simplicity.

Would you please send me all the info I need to buy the APC40 Resolve Edition kit so I can get started almost right away after configuring my new PC with Resolve 15 Beta?

PM me or Email me ASAP please, as I'm in the USA but do not know where to order and how to pay.

IMHO you really ought to appropriately advise or provide a pertinent link here and in other such announcements -- for product ordering, most especially for your new forum readers and potential fans of yours, as your offerings clearly provide a class-leading, compact, and shockingly unparalleled efficient workflow solution for Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve.

OK l've brought this case of APC40, so let's #GetThisPartyStarted:Where do I order and pay!?

Hahahaha.I will send you ,BUT it is in every post i ever made on the forum namely in my signature.

But here you go : posttools.tachyon-consulting.com

And before you get too excited or disappointed (depending the impact of my next statement)! It is Mac OSX only for both controllers !There are atm zero similar solutions available for Windows although one guy is working on a platform that possibly would allow something like this to be build for windows, if someone exists with the will, skills and time to invest in it (i started about 3 years ago to build this)

Tnx for the compliments btw. And dont worry. The APC40 is not for nothing called the big brother of the Beatstep. It more difficult to get a hold off and needs more space but more buttons and so (according to an ancient chinese proverb) the more buttons the more fun hahahah. And if you look at my custom paintjob (see my site) very good to customise and make it your personal baby. At some point i will probably do a skinjob on my beatstep as well to match my apc40 look.

Compliments I sent your way are very much earned, because you rock, "G".-Peter

Sorry mate. Feel free to P.M. me if you have problems with the shop, so we can keep this thread for updates etc.

Its just a simple webshop for this micro business and wont convert to all the local currencies on the planet, but it is connected to a proper secure payment provider where you get option to pay with (any) creditcard , paypal etc. But the prices are and stay in Euros so you have to do a little calculation to find out in your currency. (google says its about 176 $ atm) Nothing shady there (and have several customers from US ) Tax if applicable will be calculated/removed (according to EU tax laws) on checkout

Now possible (released tomorrow) to control multiple knobs at the same time for Primary Bars and RGB mix (p.s. this trick is limited to certain types of controls only unfortunately.)And also enabled course/fine control for these similar to what was already implemented for all other main pages in an earlier release.

Obviously at some point , when i have again some time, will cross implement onto APC40 , similar to nice HUD feature for all pages (incl the 20 mapped OFX plugins).

Hey, even MS have to make a living but why not install a Paypal Credit Card solution? In my experience selling US$7-10K/month of product to North Americans from Downunder, they'll use Paypal. Sure, you'll suffer slight commission hit but as the seller doesn't collect the card numbers, it's a relatively safe bet for customers.

Craig,1 i never wrote what you quoted but i am ok with that hahaha.2. I have since day 1 multiple payment providers and methods hooked to the shop including the paypall option with or without paypall account incl credit card payments.Paypall is indeed my most used payment form for non EU customers. Have also option for all kind of EU sepcific payments so there are zero issues there .Only thing i just added after above gentlemens remark is a multi currency plugin so you can at least see the equivalent value in your currency.

Anybody that still has issues operating the shop probably will also have issues with the installation manual so a natural filter i would say hahaha

I actualy know of one customer i have that does something similar but with linux. So grading on mac and the apc40 as controller and edit etc on linux. But it all depends on personal favorites , workflow and hardware setup .So cant recommend anything there. Up to you

Ps any solution you think of test it carefully for performance etc before you buy the controlller kit.As storage over gigabit will be very limiting to HD work only . Anything heavier you need 10g solutions etc. When i use resolve on multiple machines they all acces the shared storage over 10g.

Good on you Glenn. Keep up the good work and more than one of us I'm sure, anticipate the Windows 64bit version!

Craig Marshall wrote:Good on you Glenn. Keep up the good work and more than one of us I'm sure, anticipate the Windows 64bit version!

Yup! And more than 2 of us I'm *sure!*

And FWIW (fior whatever it's worth) Glenn, I could wish to implore you to find a way to implement the compatibility of your wares with 64-bit Ubuntu Linux -- even moreso than a port to 64-bit Micro$haft WindBlows.-Peter

Oh my: Does the DaVinci Resolve Configuration Guide offer *any* guidance on recommended (and particularly even more cost-effective 10 Gigabit Network Storage solutions for the guy we without $4000 to spend on peripherals?

It all depends on your needs , where you want to take this and where your main media storage lives and the type (direct attached or network) and speed.A simple workable solution without extra investments could be that , in the scenario where you have a 1gb attached storage for you media, you use cache / gen optimized media on a local on the mac attached ssd storage to grade from at high speed. On the edit machine you edit with proxies or with also local cache/optimized media.

If you ever want to look into 10gb it can be had on the cheap if you pick your components smart and dont mind flashing your cards to use the right 10gb drivers. I picked up 2 dual port x540-t2 cards for about 100US each that work great on mac after some small hacking. Then direct cat 6 connect between servers so each server can see each others local storage at up to 10gb speed (which is easy with a few ssds for you caches or media. more servers and you need a switch (and more money)

But i think if you have to changeover your entire landscape just to use this controller it may be wiser, more cost effective and easier to stick to your current single windows (brrrr) workstation and get an off the shelf windows compatible controller. Like a small BM controller. I would love to sell you my kit for apc or beatstep , but it has to make sense for you in the bigger picture.

If you knew me you would know that this is the order i am thinking off1. Mac OSX/Hackintosh2. Linux (64bits is a given)3. Root canal4. Colon exam5. Lobotomy.......398. Windows

Hmmm. Glenn, thanks for the feedback.Are you aware U'm p link affirm agnostic as relates to "WindBlows" PC and Mac?

We have a few Xeon-based 2009 and 2010 "Cheese Grater" Mac Pro units, a MacBook Pro with a pathetic 512GB nVidia GPU [Why on earth did Apple even *think* to make such a stupid configuration, and call it a MacBook "Pro"!?], plus various PCs including the newly acquired iBuyPower Trace 941

Glenn Venghaus wrote:...and get an off the shelf windows compatible controller. Like a small BM controller. [/i]

Hmmm. What kind of controller is this -- or do you mean a PCIe expander-- I cover heard of a BMD [network storage?] controller!

1. What is the model number of this beautiful beast of which you speak, Sir?

2. Where did you manage to find tutorials for this delicious 10Gbit/sec Networked Storage recipe you're proposing?

3. And what about the source for the parts list, for the SSD Carr solution you mentioned, along with its 10Gb/s "drivers" download source? Is all of this featured in BND's configuration guide? I'll bet it's *not* but sounds awesome.

Bwahahahaha! Exa-a-actly! ️I really *get* this "Glenn" Guy.

Please, contact me so we close the APC Resolve Edition deal -- as your Email doesn't work for me; it bounces back. (I'm using Orbot and alternatively, Firefox Focus)

Counting down last days before end discount on the Beatstep Resolve Edition controller for Davinci Resolve 15 .... (followed likely , by actually a small price increase to cover my costs )

Latest added features :- the super handy HUD (heads up display in all pages) - one button toggle between prim wheels and bars for hyper fast access to most important controls.- new ofx drivers (allowing now multi-knob control of all ofx knobs, controls work in hidden tabs, enabled course vs fine control )- Besides the 20 fully custom mapped Resolve OFX plugins now ANY not detected/mapped plugin (incl 3rd party etc) will obtain a default mapping of its sliders over the 16 knobs.- other stuff

Wow, we are finally there . DR15 just released. Did not see this coming yet.

Had already ended the summer sale for this controller software kit that was designed specialy for DR15 since the 1st beta release, but to celebrate the release of this amazing application, i am offering a final extended deal for 10% off till end of august before the planned price increase.

Discsount code : DR15ROCKS

And again congrats to the amazing dev team at BM to get this monster upgrade project done.

Last day to get it on the cheap....Considerable price adjustment to more market conform rate pending... (but still ridiculously cheap compared to its features of controlling more then a thousand parameters and functions in an intelligent and user friendly way)

Just a confirmation based on email questions:YES fully compatible with latest DR15.1.1 release and continuously kept up to date within a few days (mostly same day) of any new minor release if any changes/updates are required at all (mostly not) .

As there are always people who miss a discount even when clearly announced:For the final time , i have extended it till monday nov 5th and to give a bit more incentives to the doubters, people that cant decide what socks to wear in the morning etc , its now a wopping 35% discount on all items in the store using code : BETTERLATETHENNEVER

Announcement :As of today the kits are fully OSX Mojave 10.14.x supported.So when upgrading (for the early adopters) , rerun the (latest) basekit installer which ,when it detects Mojave, will deploy the correct base toolkit kit that has been natively compiled/build and 100% tested on Mojave. Also make sure you upgrade to the latest Controllermate which has proper Mojave support as wel.

btw beta testing a solution to add full control over the dynamic inspector tab in the edit page !!!This allows unique acces to zoom/rotate/cropping etc, audio and even ofx in edit page . So eat that all other controllers Expected to roll out in next release soon.
